Apr 12, 2024 | 2:51 PM

NANAIMO — Local Mounties are asking for the public’s help to locate a woman believed to be in the region or potentially the south Island.

Thirty-eight year old Morgan Elizabeth Blanch has 14 outstanding warrants, with charges ranging from possession of a weapon for a dangerous purpose, assault and theft under $5,000, to theft of a motor vehicle and fraud.

While most of Blanch’s alleged crimes stem from Vancouver or communities around Victoria beginning last August, six charges were laid against her after a Dec. 17, 2023 incident in Nanaimo.

Blanch faces assault with a weapon, uttering threats, mischief, theft and possession of weapon and stolen property charges in connection to the events of Dec. 17.

Court records show she failed to appear for a court date on March 28 on the south Island and warrants were issued for her arrest.
